Trout are on the spawn, and fishing is great

Recent rains have put almost all the mountain streams in great fishing conditions. The brookies and browns are in full spawn mode down here and eggs are the main stay of us fly fishing. Expect conditions to continue to improve over the next couple weeks.

The larger area streams are also in great shape. Wets, eggs, san juans and midges just to name a few patters that are slamming big fish right now. Typical catches are ranging from 3-4 fish to more then a dozen fish in the 3-7 lb range. The other day we took 8 brookies in the 14-18 inch range, that are so fat they look like they have tennis balls in them.
